VERTICAL EXPLORATION RETAINS WSP CANADA INC. TO
ASSIST WITH ST-ONGE WOLLASTONITE QUARRY PERMITTING APPLICATION
Vancouver, BC / June 18, 2020 / VERTICAL EXPLORATION INC. (TSX-V: VERT) ("Vertical"or "the
Company") is pleased to announce it has retained the services of WSP Canada Inc. (WSP) to assist Vertical with
its quarry permitting application to the Government of Quebec for its St-Onge Wollastonite project located in the
Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec.
Vertical’s operations partner, Magnor Exploration Inc., will work with WSP to support the preparation, drafting
and submission of the full quarry permitting request, including an application under Section 22 of the
Environmental Quality Act for a Certificate of Authorization (CA) from the Quebec Ministry of Environment
and Fight against Climate Change (MELCC) as well as a request for a BEX (Bail d’Exploitation Miniere Permit)
from the Quebec Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MERN).
WSP Canada Inc. is part of WSP Global Inc., which is one of the world's leading professional services firms
providing engineering and design services to clients in the transportation and infrastructure, property and
buildings, environment, power and energy, resources, and industry sectors, as well as offering strategic advisory
services. WSP Global Inc. has approximately 49,000 employees working in 500 offices across the globe.
Vertical is very pleased to have retained such a prominent professional services firm to support its quarry
permitting application for St-Onge and looks forward to providing further updates on the permitting application
in the near future.
Vertical advises that the production decision on the St-Onge deposit was not based on a feasibility study of
mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and as a result, there may be an increased
uncertainty of achieving any level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks
associated with developing a commercially minable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk
of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that production will occur as anticipated or that
anticipated production costs will be achieved.
